The traditional family, folk, and community flag of the Aromanians is among the oldest in the Balkans and Europe.

Symbols

The sun with eight rays and borders on three sides with red, yellow, and blue cords is a clear symbol of this people’s dedication to the sun as a source of life and warmth. This flag predates the flag with the Vergina star, which was only discovered at the end of the 1970s. Other flags of the Aromanians are those that have been used in their celebrations from pagan times up to the present day — white, yellow, red, and blue.

The Flag and The Sun

This symbol was the main one, brought out with ceremonies of song and music during the major Vlach celebrations, such as the Aromanian family wedding. The flag was adorned with flowers and three apples placed on the cross formed at the top of the flag. Apples are the fruit of love and eroticism, a symbolism originating from the interpretation of the creation of the world by Adam and Eve. The apple, the fruit of love, is a symbol also touched upon by the great Socrates. When Socrates went to take his wife as a bride, he carried a large red apple in his hand.

The Flag and The Sun

Ky simbol ishte  kryesori  që  nxirrej  me  ceremoni  kënge  dhe  muzike  në  festat  e  mëdha  të  vllehëve  si  ajo  e dasmës  familjare  arumune. Flamuri  pasurohej  me  lule  dhe  tre  kokërra  molle  të  vendosura  në  kryqin  e  krijuar  në  kokën  e  flamurit. Mollët  janë  fruti  i  dashurisë  dhe  erotikës  që  ka  origjinën  qysh  nga  interpretimi  i   krijimit  të  botës  nga  Adami  dhe  Eva. Fruti  i  dashurisë, molla  është  simbol i  prekur  edhe  nga  vete  Sokrati  i  madh. Kur  Sokrati  shkoi  për  të  marrë  gruan  e  tij  nuse, ai  mbante  në  dorë  një  mollë  të  kuqe  të  madhe.
